BROTHERLY RIVAL

BROTHERLY RIVAL
 
Boldly, brothers battle for bragging rights
Nigeria and Ghana, neighbors in night
Gigantic egos clash, a game of might
Healthy rivalry, or so it's in sight.4

Music, movies, memorable moments;
These brothers bit-in on each other's boats.
Nimble Nigerians navigate noble norms,
Ghanaians gaze, green with envy's forms8

Raucous rivalry reigns, a roaring storm
Eager eagles eye each other's form
Naija ninjas, the Eagles, no dey carry last
Ghana grits greatly with games of the past.¹²

Bold brothers boast, banter and jest
Raucous rivalry rocks, a restless nest
Eager eagles engage, in endless test
Sibling supremacy, a serious quest¹6

Nigeria's nobles navigate noble deeds
Ghana's giants gaze, with gleaming needs
Rivalry rages, a roaring blaze
Eager eagles eye, each other's ways²°

Bold brothers battle, for brotherly pride
Raucous rivalry reigns, far and wide
Ghana/Nigeria eagerly engage in endless stride
For sibling supremacy, so serious to put aside.²4

Rival Brews

Local breweries abound
And in New York there can be found
Beers from Brooklyn and from Queens
And all the boroughs in-betweens.

My spouse and I, both city-born,
Love I.P.A.’s, so we were torn
About which brew would be the best,
So we devised a little test.

We purchase bottles and some cans
To see if we’d be equal fans
Of breweries from Brooklyn (me)
Or from the Bronx (his pedigree).

Though neither one deserved a rave,
The Hazy Bronx one was the fave
So I’ll concede it should be praised,
But I prefer where I was raised.

The Male Rival

est-ce qu ils me
bloquent?
the assumption 
the muse is her lover
the best muses end up
unloved
with nothing at all
I refuse to be anything
except her man
her lover, companion
her all!

de pierro and kakhidze
vasilisa buratto: feala
mimica!
de piazzolla no:no:no!
il faut chanter avez
un orchestra
sous les
applaudissements de
la foule
si desidera
fah,lah,lah?
potremmo cantare
tutti insieme?
ah: vah e un ritmo
lento
l'intro unisce la donna
e l'uomo
la gelosia di quelli
chi vuole essere
nella posizione in
cui mi trovo
est-ce qu'elle chante
sur scene
est-ce que monisier
fait la meme chose?
il pubblico applaude
per salutarti?
Potrebbero inchinarsi
o inchinarsi
dire che sono felice
che tu sia venuto?
decapo and Dal Segno!

That Mate Sees Me a Rival But the Feeling Is Not Mutual

People want to pull me downtown Lester Brown 
they wear sandals on their feet and my head wears a crown 
prizes in their wicked eyes a cricket wicket bouncing highs 
inside I’m a lion pride and they’re all pesky little flies 
they land they bite but I don’t die never will  but still they try 
aiming all this hate at me competitors apparently 
beating me would make their day but I’m not bothered anyway 
some times they will celebrate 
they say that I have been beaten 
but I have no idea until one of them starts speaking 
what they deem a victory doesn’t feel like a defeat 
so I don’t even argue I just let them have their treat 
they are not my competition but I’m the one they seek 
they think if they pull me down they will not be so weak 
blind to the fact whatever happens they’ll be the same freak 
backwards people think this way they don’t stand from their seat 
hoping that somebody will fall down on the concrete 
so I’ll be the prize that they size up 
I’m an Olympic medal 
but I’ve heard of times they’ve mess up 
the chain’s off as they pedal 
making me the champion 
and them Olympic Special

Arrival of a Rival

Screwed up eyes and a huge flush
By one fending off a blush,
After the surest glimpse of Her Crush
With an Eve of enveloping lush;
Something in her beginning to crash
Tony to no more escape a tongue-lash!

Her oval face soon the fullest flush,
At which no sensible man will rush,
It presuming to be about some thrush;
The very thought and idea a slush
Of one booking her a suite plush…

Serena is now complying with a hush
Not demanded by imposing lips
Not will her cost a half brush,
If she her lips speedily unzips,
Out letting her anger gush
Or her tongue steadily slips…

A Serena already edged out by Rival
With some ambition in her arrival.

Gods Hell Fire For Weevil

God’s hell fire for weevil 
Like his final for the Devil, 
For the weevil is equally evil 
To our rice never civil 
And to its consumers a rival 
Always some marvel 
How it ends its travel 
In the sealed bags it quarters 
And the grain of rice it scatters! 

I grant the weevil is insect 
But why every grain dissect 
And its wholesomeness affect?

Yes, not by a little real 
The weevil cherishes cereal 
But is it the wisdom of Daniel 
And is it conceivably ideal 
That holes it punctures in a nutrition 
For consumers reserving malnutrition.

A Rival

We had the best time 
I told you about my life
why you turn my foe

The Rival We Don'T Notice England Scotland

Scotland sees England as their biggest rival
the nation to beat down and torture. 
but down here in England we see the Scots 
as our neighbours just north of the border.

we view our rivals as Argies or Germans 
and the French just south of the water, 
we don't see the Scots with the hate that they've got 
and we don't share a desire for slaughter. 

they are our rival that we barely notice 
yet we are theirs and important, 
we must be the greatest for them to hate us 
and though they erupt we sit dormant.

they join with the Irish and all those from Wales 
enjoying the days England fails, 
I don't know this hatred that they've generated 
all I know is that Scotland smells!

Under the Stirs

It sits under my stairs,
It's been there a few weeks,
Growing more each day,
I put it off and do other stuff,
I hate that thing under my stirs.

I pass it ever day knowing it's there,
Mentaly asking it "to please go away",
I try to block it out as much as I can,
There comes that day and it has to be done.

An hour spending ironing teashirts, trousers and skirts
I hate doing that thing under my stirs,
After an hour I've had enough so I put it away,
I will go clean the toilet I prefer that anyday.

Re-Load

It either works out
Or it doesn't
Either way things
Will be fine
Life moves on
To the final end
A last showdown
Gun fight style

War and Peace

There you are before me in Manchester
My mum was never mad at me like this
My mum was never angry at me like this
My mum was never crying at me like this
My mum was never disillusioned at me like this
My mum was never screamed at me like this
My mum was never glared at me like this
My mum was never exiled at me like this
My mum was never hatred at me like this
My mum was never insane at me like this
My mum was never bitter at me like this
Because my mum is fecking dead

Rival of Rickets

rival of rickets ~
Spring sunshiny easter egg hunt
and D-licious milk

Rival Players In Dangerous Rough Waters

Rival Players in Dangerous Rough Waters 

brimming
swimming 
skimming
trimming 
Champ rivals are brimming, swimming prize, 
stunned watching the skimming, trimming lies.

Survival of a Rival

Survival of A Rival at a Revival

There does appear to be something about survival;
What we should do with any people who are a rival;
God was near;
Us He did hear,
And we were told to take them to a religious revival.
